[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been saying this for a while. The toxic college competition stems from companies that hire only from certain colleges. If so-called top-tier firms like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey hired from a broader range of schools, there wouldn’t be as much crazy competition for the top 10-20 schools.

Frankly, it’s also very short sighted of them as there are lots of smart and great kids at all schools. Many kids can’t even consider applying to HPYSM due to finances.[/quote]

I agree with you on the solution, but if you look at it from the company perspective it would be different.

They can go to ASU or U Arizona and interview 5000 students at each university to find out the smart kids or interview a small pre-filtered student body at T10. It is also lower risk to them of a candidate does not work out. Hey, we picked a HYPSM student but did not work out, what can we do? Or "Why the hell did you hire from ASU? What are you thinking?".
